I just removed Youtube completely on my phone. That's possible with Graphene OS, not sure about stock android.
I've actually experimented a little with parental control. My conclusion is that it's deliberately made clunky and hard to use, to prevent parents from being able to easily use it.

OK. You are doing some great work in avoiding this. Keep it up!
If you have smart TVs around the house remove the YouTube app from the TV.
As a tip: on phone you could also use parental control to manage your screen time on any app that goes along with video addiction.
